# Privacy Policy
**Last Updated:** [05 May 2026]
Welcome to Froggie's Bug Shop ("app", "game", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and shared when you use our mobile application.
## 1. Information We Collect
We intentionally limit the data we collect. Because the game stores your save data locally on your device, we do not have independent servers that store your personal gameplay information or identity. However, we use third-party services that may collect certain information to provide their services:
**A. Automatically Collected Information**
When you access the game, certain information is automatically collected by third-party SDKs (Software Development Kits) embedded in the app. This may include:
* **Device Information:** Device type, operating system, unique device identifiers (e.g., Google Ad ID or Apple IDFA), and mobile network information.
* **Usage Data:** Diagnostic data, crash reports, and interaction metrics.
**B. Payment Information**
If you make In-App Purchases (IAP), the transaction is processed directly through the app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) and our IAP provider (RevenueCat). We do not collect or store your credit card or billing information.
## 2. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, which have their own privacy policies:
* **Google AdMob:** Used to serve rewarded advertisements. AdMob may use device identifiers and other data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
* **RevenueCat:** Used to manage In-App Purchases and subscription states securely. [RevenueCat Privacy Policy](https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy)
* **Google Play Store / Apple App Store:** Used for app distribution and secure payment processing.
## 3. How We Use Your Information
The information collected by third-party services is used to:
* Serve relevant advertisements (Google AdMob) so you can earn in-game rewards.
* Process and verify in-app purchases (RevenueCat).
* Analyze crashes and improve game performance.
* Comply with legal obligations.
## 4. Local Storage
Your game progress (money, scarabs, bugs caught, upgrades) is saved **locally on your device**. If you uninstall the game or clear its data, your progress will be permanently lost. We cannot restore lost local data.
## 5. Children's Privacy
Our game may appeal to younger audiences. We rely on the age-gating and parental control mechanisms of the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information unlawfully, please contact us.
## 6. Your Rights
Depending on your region (e.g., GDPR, CCPA), you may have the right to request access to or deletion of your data, or to opt-out of personalized advertising. You can manage ad personalization directly through your device’s privacy settings (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android or "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS).
## 7. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the app and updating the "Last Updated" date.
